Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

During the mid-20th century, Swiss horologists like Imhof produced high-grade mechanical desk and table timepieces. These pieces combined precision 8-day movements with decorative brass casings tailored for luxury residential and executive office settings.

Clocks from this era typically utilized heavy cast brass with gilt or lacquered finishes, mineral glass crystals, and jewelled mechanical movements containing steel and brass gear trains.

Authentic pieces feature signature engravings on the dial or movement plate, often including the Imhof name, Swiss or Swiss Made markings, and specifications regarding the jewel count and 8-day power reserve.

Position the clock on a timber executive desk, a minimalist bookshelf, or a marble mantelpiece to create a metallic focal point that contrasts with modern textures.

Dust the casing regularly using a dry microfiber cloth, avoiding liquid polishes that can strip original gilding or protective lacquers. Mechanical movements require periodic servicing by a professional horologist to maintain accurate timekeeping.
